The Shared Space
By Laura Zorch McDermit
We published a newspaper!
"The Shared Space" is a love letter to how public space transforms with art and by artists. TEMPOart is excited to share what's coming next for Portland through temporary art projects and to celebrate projects throughout Maine. This is not an exhaustive collection of Maine's artwork but a starting point for exploration and contemplation.
Happy wondering and wandering, public art pals!
